FIVE PURPOSES OF THE CHURCH

#1 - Prayer

Prayer is mentioned throughout the Bible. It is our way to spend personal time with God. We should pray daily. Prayer can go places we cannot. Scripture reference: 1 Thessalonians 5:17; James 5:16

#4 - Worship

The feeling and/or expression of reverence and adoration to God. (John 4:23-24)

#2 - Discipleship

One who embraces and assists in spreading the teaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ is a disciple. A disciple must be Faithful; Available and Teachable. In order to be faithful, you must have confidence that what you entrust to another person will be in good hands. Also, it is hard to train someone who is not around - that is why availablity is so important. And lastly, it is impossible to teach someone who thinks they know everything. Just as Jesus modeled, we are not to waste the stewardship of our lives with know it alls. In Mathew 28:19-20, commonly referred to as The Great Commission, Jesus said "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

#3 - Evangelism

Evangelism is the act of spreading the Gospel by public preaching or personal witness. Talking to others and sharing the good news about Jesus Christ (Matthew 28: 19-20) is the purest form of evangelism.

#5 - Stewardship

Giving of your time, talent and treasures.(See below)

The 3 T's of Stewardship: Time, Talent and Treasures

TimeWIthout the Bible there is no knowledge of Christ or salvation. We expect our members to take the time to read, study, meditate and memorize scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15). As a part of this, we encourage all members to attend the Sunday School of Learning and IHOP (Impact Hour of Power) Bible Study in an effort to stabilze their biblical foundation.

Talent

God has called all of us into His service as soldiers of Jesus Christ. In that, he has given all of us natural and spiritual gifts and talents by which to serve Him and His church. (1 Corinthians 12:4-7)
